Walter Isaacson has a new book on Musk coming out on Tuesday. He's been all over promoting it. Here's an excerpt from Saturday's WSJ (free link).

Walter Isaacson has written a number of very good biographies. Steve Jobs, Kissinger, Einstein, Da Vinci. I suspect it's a very good book. The question is whether you give a crap about Musk.

I'll probably request the eBook from my library just to read it and laugh.

He had the most amazing hair transplant.

Hopefully better than his Steve Jobs biography.

No kidding, killing off the main character with pancreatic cancer is not a good plot line.

I'm a total Mac fanboy - got my first Mac in 1984. Was part of the local Mac user group, before there was an internet. I worked at an Apple project (before they sold us off). Steve Jobs was on my radar.

I made it about a quarter way through that book before I gave up. He had so many mistakes I lost count.

I really choose not to assign a single brain cell to that moron.

And yet you take the time to post a comment instead of scrolling on by. Man, I love all the Elon Musk hate, entertaining as just about anything on this forum! ?

The 11 kids and not even married part really impressed me?

I think in his mind, he's doing the world a favor by spreading his genes. I don't think he sees himself as a Dad, at least in the traditional sense.

It was a little too dry for me as well - perhaps too long?

Some of these non-fiction books would do better in the 100-150 page range, more than a 30 page extended read magazine spread, but also not a 300-500 page tome. Non-fiction is often not that interesting to go so long, at least for me.

I could not agree more.

And yet here you are commenting, you guys definitely crack me up. ?
